Maisha Jannath R., 11

Maisha Jannat Rahiya is an 11-year-old Class 5 student from a financially disadvantaged family of four. Her father is the sole earning member, working as a bricklayer and earning approximately USD 49 per month, which is barely enough to cover the family’s basic needs and leaves little money for unexpected medical expenses. Maisha was an active school-going child until she slipped and fell, causing pain and swelling in her left forearm; an X-ray confirmed a left mid-shaft ulna fracture. Without appropriate treatment, the fracture may heal improperly, causing persistent pain, limited movement, or functional problems in her arm and affecting her studies and daily activities. The family learned about Helpster Charity through local community members and is seeking support to help Maisha receive the treatment she needs.

According to the treatment plan, hospitalization with a long-arm backslab and conservative treatment under proper monitoring is expected to stabilize the fractured left ulna, reduce pain and swelling, and allow the bone to heal properly. With appropriate care and follow-up, Maisha is expected to regain normal movement and gradually return to her usual activities and studies. If left untreated or improperly managed, the fracture may heal in an abnormal position, resulting in persistent pain, restricted movement, weakness, or difficulty using the affected arm.
